Phil Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Assuming there is no sky money or other sponsorship money how are the EL going to afford to run ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemini Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 By paying the riders less or not signing G.P. riders? Chris Harris has already signed for Coventry so he must have realized (at last!) that he is not worth as much as he was four or five years ago.

OGT Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Why bother with Peterborough? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Why bother with Peterborough? Because we are a big club with large revenue which would allow us to compete in a Super League with Poole.

Panthers89 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Lower points limit, bigger league and agree with Gemini, curb paying OTT for riders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, We need super star riders. The likes of Ward, Woffinden and Holder need to stay in the UK at all costs. They are the ones who draw crowds, Get people talking.

Woz01 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Horton has stated he has 2 teams in mind, one with Sky on board and one without. You would hope other clubs have similar plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterborough do well to field one team considering most of their assets would rather ride elsewhere on loan. The fact is that finally British Speedway has realised that it does not have the backing or following of other countries and the big earners will have to ride for what's on offer or forget it and most will take the second option. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starman2006 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Because we are a big club with large revenue which would allow us to compete in a Super League with Poole. And the smallest crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LagutaRacingFan Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) And the smallest crowd. But with the largest sponsorship deal in the whole of the Elite League. Our sponsorship deal is miles better than Poole's. Edited October 29, 2013 by Hougaard Racing Fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
